Chapter 42: The Ancestors Said(1/2)
Golden cup of sake, green and clear.
In the attic, Sun Wukong was drinking while listening to Emperor Shouma telling the history of this world.
The story in his mouth was basically the same as what Sun Wukong heard, but it was more detailed that the reason why the original sun disappeared was because it was eaten by the monsters descending from the chaos.
The monster split into countless small monsters, scattered in the center of the world, and is the current oasis.
"Are you sure it's a monster?"
Sun Wukong put down the golden cup and asked, "Not something round?"
"There are rumors like this, too."
The emperor answered.
Sun Wukong knew it in his heart.
Seeing that Sun Wukong had finished drinking, the emperor asked someone to come up to add wine.
Sun Wukong looked at the translucent wine: "How did the sun in the Great Northern Wilderness disappear?"
"I don't know."
The emperor shook his head and said, "But it may also be swallowed by monsters."
"It's probably the case."
Sun Wukong nodded: "So, are you calling Kuafu here for..."
“To protect the sun.”
The emperor replied: "That is the only remaining fire seed in the world. The Kuafu clan is simple in mind and cannot protect it."
The Shouma people believe that only they can protect the sun.
"The past world was divided into two parts, and a new fire was born from our clan."
The emperor said.
The two suns in the north and south were protected by them at the beginning.
Only then did Sun Wukong understand what Yuexianren said, what does Shoumaren have a close relationship with the Sun mean?
The Shouma people were worried that the sun would be left outside and might happen one day, so they took the opportunity to take it over.
"You live at the bottom of the lake, what does the sun pour out for you?"
Sun Wukong was very puzzled.
"Shouma Kingdom is just a moon in the water, presenting something on the ground. If there is no sun over there, there will be no sun here."
The emperor replied: "For us, it is also life-related, and it cannot be lost."
Sun Wukong was silent for a moment.
"But you took the sun, what should the people do?"
"The fire is the most important thing, and there is no choice at this time."
The emperor said.
He cares more about the safety of all living beings than the safety of them.
This is also human nature.
Sun Wukong sighed and looked out the window. There was a back garden outside the window, full of strange flowers and plants.
"I still have to bring it back."
Sun Wukong said.
He was not shaken by the emperor's words and expressed his wishes to the emperor.
"We have discussed the idea of the immortal for a long time, but it is difficult to realize it."
Emperor Shouma shook his head: "Those monsters have great magical powers and should not be enemies."
He didn't believe that Sun Wukong could clean up those monsters.
Fortunately, Sun Wukong doesn’t need him to believe in himself, all he needs is a promise.
"If I could clean up those monsters, can you hand over the sun to me?"
"this……"
Emperor Shouma hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to ask my subjects."
He refused to answer Sun Wukong on the grounds that Shouma people cannot believe Sun Wukong now and cannot make this decision alone.
Sun Wukong knew that this was just a delay.
"Since that's the case, go and ask the civil and military officials how?"
Sun Wukong said: "Your Majesty cannot decide, so it is up to them."
The emperor was stunned.
Ask, how do you ask this?
However, he thought about it again that all the civil and military officials were their own people, and Sun Wukong asked in vain.
“Great Good.”
The emperor agreed.
The two walked back to the hall, but none of the officials inside actually left.
The civil and military officials of the court were surrounded by Zhenyuan Daxian at this time, asking questions with curiosity.
"Well, Daji is really so beautiful?"
"Can the gods really live with the heaven and earth?"
Everyone looked like a curious baby, and they didn't even notice the emperor's appearance.
"What are they talking about?"
The emperor asked.
"Listen to the story."
Sun Wukong answered.
He couldn't help coughing. Zhenyuan Daxian heard the sound and looked up.
"My brother is back."
He bowed to the civil and military officials around him: "If you want to know what he is, please go back and find me some magic medicine to exchange for."
The civil and military officials nodded one after another, then became serious, stood up in sequence, and saluted the emperor.
The emperor immediately expressed Sun Wukong's proposal.
“Super the sun?”
When the officials heard this, they naturally objected.
"No, I can't hand over it."
"This is the last fire, and it cannot be lost."
"We won't agree!"
No one agreed to hand over the sun to Sun Wukong.
The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sun Wukong: "Great Immortal, what happened is now, you..."
"I can exchange it with Xiandao."
Sun Wukong spoke at this time, saying something amazing: "Three Thousand Immortal Ways, you can choose any of them."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, all the officials were stunned.
"Three Thousand Immortal Ways?"
The emperor frowned, what is this?
Before he could react, the civil and military officials in the court suddenly became excited.
"Three Thousand Immortal Way? Isn't that the way to become an immortal just now?"
"This one can be there!"
The officials' eyes at Sun Wukong became enthusiastic.
"This stone spirit is indeed as generous as the Great Immortal said!"
"No wonder he was able to change from a stone spirit to a heavenly emperor!"
Many people thought to themselves that it is better to see it than to hear it at first sight. The Emperor of Heaven outside is different, powerful and generous.
"I agreed."
"I agreed, too."
